And 11 months later...she walks

We can't believe it, she is already 11 months old, approaching the big 1-2. We are preparing for her birthday party and can't wait to see everyone who is making the trip. Olivia is especially excited to see her Grandparents, both sets will be here, she loves all the extra lovin.

Olivia took her first steps this past week, we don't have it on video yet, but we are hoping to capture it this weekend. Her max in a row is 10, but most of the time its just 2-3 at a time before she sits herself down, no big diggers yet, but we are sure its bound to happen soon.

Sweet Olivia had an "ear check" appointment with Dr. Saliskar on Monday, all clear and no talk of tubes. She weighed in at 23 lbs 6 oz, but fully dressed, we are waiting to get the official 12 month weight in a few weeks when she goes back.

Brad is training hard for another race, next one is July 6th at Camp Hilbert, last time he raced there it was about a degree outside so Leigh had to leave Olivia at home with YaYa, but this time we are probably going to be dealing with 100 degree temps, something we are not thrilled about, but we need to support our Captain Lycra.

We are going to venture out and find some fireworks this year, last year we stayed in, but this year we are going to venture out with The Koehlers. And then Saturday the 5th we are cooking out with The Koehlers and The Harris's, just a low key neighborhood get together. We are guessing Zack and Olivia will take a dip in the baby pool.

Olivia would like to give a Birthday "shout out" to her friend Natalie Johnston who turns 1 today, and her friend Kaylee Rogers who will be 1 tomorrow.

Also, great news to report, Leigh's good friend April Tillar is expecting a little baby boy in November, we are all thrilled for them, we are guessing Addison (the Dad) has already gone out to purchase the tikes first camo onesie.
